Steps:
- Warm the milk in a saucepan and add the orange zest. Bring to a simmer and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a medium pot. Stir in the semolina and mix with a wooden spoon until fragrant and lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Gradually add the orange-infused hot milk, mixing well until thoroughly blended. Next, add the sugar and stir well until the mixture is slightly thickened. Stir in the vanilla and remove from the heat. Off heat, stir the mixture occasionally to keep the custard from forming a skin. Allow the custard to cool slightly.
- Beat the eggs and egg yolks in a mixing bowl. Add to the pot and mix well to combine - the mixture should have the consistency of a pudding. Cover well with plastic wrap and set the mixture aside until ready to use (at this point you can refrigerate it for up to four days for later use).
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Open the box of filo and unwrap the sheets. Place on a work surface and cut the whole stack of filo sheets in half so that you are left with rectangular pieces, which measure approximately 9 x 13 inches.
- Lay 3 sheets of filo one on top of each other, brushing melted butter between each sheet. As you lay the sheets down, keep the shorter end facing you. Then, place about ⅓ cup of the custard mixture in the bottom center of the filo stack, approximately 1.5" from the edges. Fold the bottom edge of the filo over the custard and then fold in each of the sides, so the custard is fully covered by the filo. Flip the filo and custard over and away from you and brush the top with a little melted butter. Continue folding the strip of filo until you reach the end of your rectangle. At this point, tuck the end piece under the rest of the rolled filo and brush the top with butter. With the help of a spatula, transfer the filo roll to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until you have filled as many rolls as you want.
- Bake in middle rack of the oven for approximately 12-15 minutes or until light, golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly on a baking rack. Dust with cinnamon and powdered sugar and enjoy while still a little warm.

Steps:
- To prepare the simple syrup, place all ingredients in a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed skillet and boil gently for about 5 minutes, or, until the syrup is reduced and you have 2 cups of orange syrup remaining. Remove from heat and let it cool completely (this can be done ahead of time).
- Preheat the oven to 350° F.
- Line two, 8-inch or 9-inch cake pans with two large sheets of parchment paper, creasing them every now and them and making sure they fit well into the bottom and up the sides of the pans. (I use clips to help them stay in place).
- Place the stack of filo sheets (13" x 18") on a cutting board, with the widest side in front of you. Each stack is about 18-20 sheets of filo. With a sharp knife, cut the stack vertically through the center. You will now have two stacks of filo, each 13" x 9". Cover one of these stacks with a piece of wax paper or plastic wrap, followed by a clean kitchen towel, and set it aside.
- Place the second stack of filo in front of you, so the 13" side is in front of you. Take one filo sheet and place it on the counter next to your cutting board. Lightly butter it with the melted butter. Place a second one on top of the first and brush it with butter as well. (Keep the rest of the stack of filo covered, as above, while you work). Using your fingers, scrunch it into a loose pleated strip. Form a loose spiral and place it in the middle of the prepared pan. Repeat this with the remaining filo sheets of the first stack, making 8 more filo spirals and placing them close and tight in the pan. Then, do the same with the second stack of filo and the second cake pan, so you have a total of 9 filo spirals in each pan.
- Brush the top of the spirals with some more butter and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until the filo is lightly brown and crisp.
- While the pans are in the oven, prepare the custard. In a large bowl, cream the sugar and the eggs. Add the oil, the baking powder, the vanilla, and the orange zest. To that mixture, fold in the yogurt and set aside (this step can also be done ahead of time).
- Remove the pans from the oven. Pour half of the orange custard mixture between the and over the spirals in the first pan and half between and over the spirals in the second pan. Return the pans to the oven and bake the rosettes for another 20 minutes, or, until the custard has set in the middle.
- Remove the pans from the oven and pour the cooled orange syrup evenly over the hot filo ruffles. Wait for at least fifteen minutes, until the filo slightly cools and the syrup is mostly absorbed before you serve.

Steps:
- For Custard:
- Whisk sugar, cornstarch and salt in heavy medium saucepan to blend. Gradually whisk in 1 cup cold water and lemon juice. Whisk until sugar and cornstarch dissolve. Whisk in egg and lemon peel. Add butter. Whisk over medium heat until mixture boils and thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in food coloring. Transfer custard to bowl. Press plastic onto surface of custard and cool to room temperature.
- For Phyllo Cups:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly spray eight 1/3-cup muffin cups with vegetable oil spray. Stack 4 phyllo sheets into six 4-inch squares, forming total of 24 squares. Press 1 phyllo square into each cup (cover remaining phyllo with plastic wrap and damp towel). Using pastry brush, dab phyllo in a few places with melted butter. Press another phyllo square atop first phyllo square, with corners at different angles. Sprinkle phyllo cups with sugar.
- Bake until phyllo is golden brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer pan to rack and cool cups from muffin tin. (Custard and phyllo cups can be prepared 1 day ahead. Refrigerate custard. Store phyllo cups in airtight containers.)
- Spoon some of custard into each of 4 cups (save remaining custard and cups for another use). Sift powdered sugar over edges of phyllo. Garnish with mint sprigs. Arrange on plates.
CUSTARD CREAM FILLING
This was originally given to me as a cannoli filling and although I still use it for that purpose, it also makes a great cream puff or cake filling as well as just a delicious thick pudding. A very old recipe - origin unknown.

GREEK CUSTARD WITH PHYLLO PASTRY
Oh, I love this dessert so! Serve it with a well roasted coffee to balance the creamy, crispy sweetness with deep rich brew. Mmmm, especially satisfying now cold weather is on the way. Gratefully from the Yahoo gourmet-recipes-from-around-the-world.
